I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AN AMP FOR MY 15" BL.... 1000W RMS 2000 MAX ANY SUGGESTIONS?????? AUTOTEK MEAN MACHINE? KOLE? HIFONICS? RE/USAMPS? PLANET AUDIO? TRYING TO SPEND LESS THAN 300 LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK PLEASE
An Audioque AQ1200D would do well also the Elemental Designs ED Nine.1 would be a good choice. Also, you can get a refurbished Sundown Audio SAE-1200DV.2 amp from www.db-r.com. I would scratch Kole, and Autotek. The older US Amps used to be very nice. I've heard that their products aren't as well built anymore, but I would still say they are better than either Kole or Autotek. Planet Audio amps, I would say are also better than Kole and Autotek. Out of the brands you have listed however, I would go with US Amps.
I FORGOT TO ADD THAT THE WOOFER IS SET FOR 2 OHMS SO THE FIRST AMP YOU SUGGESTED WAS ONLY AT LIKE 600W @ 2 OHMS I THOUGHT IT WAS NOT GOOD TO RUN LESS THAN RMS SO IM LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AROUND 1000W RMS @ 2 OHMS RIGHT
Yes it is,and in many cases cheaper too. What are you looking to spend anyway? Alpine mrp-1000 and kicker zx1000.1 do 1000wrms @2ohm. Or even the aq2200 will do what you need @2ohm too. A good buy at $389 shipped imo
i dont mind used i did look into the Sundown Audio SAE-1200DV.2 i do like that i have not found any of the Audioque AQ1200D like suggested above i guess i have to wait and see what Nick says @ FI if he do it to 1ohm that would be great that is if its not to late... i just missed a great cadence amp on ebay last night im still mad about that 200.00 for a great amp
well i decided to go with a better amp than what i posted FI never received my emails trying to change the duel 1ohm to dual2 so i can run 1 ohm which would open doors on a lot of amps for less so i need an amp for 2 ohms is it ok to run less than rms than the sub i really wanted the audioq AQ1200D but its only 870X1 @ 2 ohm's and my sub is 1000w RMS the only other amp i like is the NINe.1 and its 900w @ 2 ohms so much for my sundown after reading up on them i really wanted the SAE-1200Dv2 but its only 600w @ 2 ohms ........ so what do you guys and gals think help me out i cant afford the sundown saz1500
I'd go with the ED Nine.1 because it is rated at 12.5 volts. Hopefully, your electrical system won't lag below 13 volts which would mean that the actual power output of the amp will be greater than rated since you'll be higher than 12.5 volts. The woofer will run fine on less wattage, just don't go cranking up the volume levels trying to get more output. Be smart!
wait i thought if you wire a 2 ohm sub to each coil and send it out(1 vc to the other) to thhe amp youll be a 1 ohms....so you should be able to use a amp that does 1000rms @ 1 as long as you only using 1 sub
I think that's .5 ohm I ended up getting the Nine1 amp it was rated I think 900 @ 12v so 14.5 should put me or around 1000w I've talked to a few who own it and have had other amps and they said it was great and that it was way under rated and it does not get hot. I think for 250 shipped new with 5 yr warrenty it's a good deal I would have rather got the audioq but was >200w difference but I hear it's a beast.
Just want to say thank you all for your help now I just need wire, big3, and a new bat under my hood
